Another Infection?

Am I infected, say if I click on a site and then a pop up comes up saying "Warning! blah blah blah" and then when I close it, the site looks like any old folder on my computer with my C drive and other stuff listed, and looks like it's running a scan saying I'm infected? I x out of this crap and everything is fine afterwards. I've been noticing I've been getting these RANDOMLY, even though I have symantec antivirus on. Is this normal or does it mean I'm getting infected/got infected (just talking about the scenario where that pop up and fake folder scan shows up after clicking on a link)?

Re: Another Infection?

YES!!! Run MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials), if not download it in safe mode and run it in safe mode. It will find infection or infections and clean it for you.
